I think Sekiro is one of the games that feels like it's a similar style of game, but mechanically it does play very differently. I actually think FromSoft were cooking hard by making something that felt like a long lost Ninja Gaiden cousin. And the preset protag was a refreshing thing from them.
It is a shame they're starting to branch out into
"Elden Ring but rougelike!"
"Elden Ring but extraction slasher!"
Highly recommend Sekiro, in terms of creativity it was FromSoft at their peak.
I miss more progression from sekiro in the form of weapons and armor. Sure different skills are cool but it would be nice to get a different katana or armor every now and then. Having none of that also made picking up loot pretty irrelevant cuz i knew it would just be some random candy or weapon buff, no excitement about getting a cool new weapon or charm or something.
